PDF Title: "BIOMASS GASIFICATION FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION – PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND RESEARCH NEEDS"
Some discussion of gasifier types and expected conversions

http://www.knowledgepublications.com/hydrogen/hydrogen_manufacture_detail.htm
Excerpt from the book "Hydrogen Manufacture by...Techniques" Very nicely detailed. A copy of the book might prove very useful. Also, detailed process flow diagrams.



Contaminent removal

Caldo - Useful information on how ceramic filters work for hot-gas filtration

B_0308e_Rectisol.pdf
The Rectisol process owned by Lurgi. A much more broad contaminent removal, also seperates CO2

http://www.uop.com/objects/97%20Selexol.pdf
The Selexol process owned by UOP - used for sulfur removal. Requires a fairly high H2S pressure, however.

Information is primarilly focused on gasification of coke, but links to other research might address syngas treatment

Molecular_Sieves_Presentation.pdf
Informational brochure by Axen's - contains background on molecular sieves and broad product listings

Coal_Gasification_Pilot_Study_for_H2_Production.pdf
A look at the back-end of a coal gasification plant. Not directly relevent but helpful.
